HENFIELD THEN AND NOW

tipnoak

Tipnoak - written as "Tipnook" in the 1901 census - looks old but was actually built in the early 1900s from material taken from older buildings. A small cottage stood at the location before the present building. It stands at the junction of the southern part of the High Street and Nep Town Road. The name is probably a derivation from 'Tippa's Oak' - meaning Tippa's Hundred (Henfield Hundred). The hundred was a Saxon administrative unit.
